ParaNorman 3D ***

Beautifully and creepily rendered, with wonderful advances in facial expression, Laika Entertainment ("Corpse Bride," "Coraline") presents the story of Norman, a lonely youngster who can see dead people, who is called upon to save his New England town from an old curse. I loved the look, the sound, the top-notch voices, the inventive and effective use of 3D in this stop action movie. I'm not sure the final revelation and battle is as good as the rest of the film, but there are some fantastic and memorable sequences. I'm glad I saw it.
